Tsubasa is a carrier pigeon living in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan. His flying ability is average, and he hasn't had any notable results in races. And, he lived a leisurely life with his fellow pigeon coop friends.
By the way, Tsubasa's owner is an old man named Yamao Azuma, and one day, his grandson Kakeru comes to the Yamao's house. Kakeru is a 10-year-old boy. From that day on, he lives with the Yamao and becomes Tsubasa's new owner. Of course, in reality, Yamao continues to take care of Tsubasa, so the new owner is merely in name only. However, Kakeru's feelings for Tsubasa are so strong that he tries his best to look after him. In fact, there is a deep reason behind this...
Meanwhile, Tsubasa's feelings also begin to change, and a certain truth hidden within him is revealed.
Soon, the day of the autumn 500 kilometer race arrived. Tsubasa will participate in this race with Onsoku, a newcomer from the same pigeon coop, Shippu, a rival from the other coop, and other carrier pigeons, and will head from the starting point in Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, where the coop is located. ...
What fate awaits them in the future?
